Short description of error

Window size/location are not properly saved in multi window set ups

I save the default start up file like this:

and when i close blender and reopen I get this:

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Get latest stable portable build
Open blender, add a second window(not a main window!) Order and drag the windows in similar fashion as on the screenshots.
Save default start up file
Close blender and re-open
Notice that the windows became slightly smaller and the main window now slightly overlaps the second window

Additional info

Has been present since version 2.83 and potentially earlier, had this problem on another computer aswell(the same monitor/tv however). The resolution of my screen is at 1080p but it is not a pc monitor, it is a tv technically. wide screen. Not sure if this matters but maybe it does. Perhaps this issue presents itself on single window sets up aswell( if the window is not fullscreen/maximized). I imagine it would go unnoticed in most cases. I often ignore this myself but at one point the overlap always starts screwing with me and then i'll drag the main window back.

Incase anyone wonders why, I sometimes drag the properties/outliner window down so i can show an internet browser or file explorer or whatever really in the top right of my screen. This is great for following tutorials and quick access to online reference material.

That's awesome. I tried downloading the 2.93 beta but i can't extract it because a few files throw up a "too long path" error. Even if i put it on a drive's main folder. Good to know it's already fixed though. Thank you!
